When going up the Gondola the first mountain you will arrive at is Goat's Eye. This is the lowest mountain and usually has the least amount of snow, but there are some good mogul fields there in the spring. The new Wild West zone is also accessible off the Goat's Eye quad.
The second stop the Gondola makes is the Daylodge and Inn. This is where the majority of other lifts are based. To the west is Wawa Ridge, accessed by a short, slow lift. It's worth the wait as there are usually powder stashes to be found there. To the South is Standish, a zone filled with short steeps and drops. And finally to the east is Continental Divide, a lift that takes you across the Alberta / British Columbia border. This is also where the terrain park is, and access to the Delirium Dive and Silver City areas.

You aren't going to find the driest powder here as the ski area lies between 1070-1551 meters, ... [ Read More ]
This mountain about an hour out of Calgary is one of the best little big mountains around, and in my mind the closest legitimate mountain to Calgary. The resort itself is located in the Kananaskis Region of Alberta, which is about 25 km east of the B.C./Alberta border and in the most easterly part of the Rocky Mountains. This location at the edge of the Rockies provides Fortress with quite a bit ... [ Read More ]
